Shooting guard rap battle: Iverson versus Kobe.
It’s been a while, but this is a “slow-burn” kind of contest. That being the starting five of ill-advised hoopers turned rappers. We started off a while ago with the battle for who would run the point. In spite of Gary Payton’s overall Oaklandishness, Troy Hudson walked off with the win. So he gets the start. Which brings us to the two-guard slot.
I decided to go straight to the chase with this. In spite of an inspired Dana Barros/Cedrick Ceballos collabo from way back, this one is the clash of the unreleased baller/rapper titans: Kobe vs. A.I. In other words, the battle of the albums that were never really released. A.I. was shut down for a variety of lyrical choices, while Kobe was doomed by his rhymes being, well, the Casey Jacobsen of rap.
So, without further ado, judge for yourself. Who should inhabit the two-guard slot in our baller/rapper hall of infamy. A.I. or Kobe. “Forty Bars” or “Thug Poet.” Oy. Neither are terrible, neither are particularly good. Okay, call it an honorary “Hater Tuesday” post, but let’s get one step closer to filling out the starting five. Did I mention that you should vote for the wackest? Well, vote for the wackest.
The polls are open,

Loading …Okay, make the jump for the Ced Ceballos and Dana Barros track. They even got Native Tongue Sadat-X on the guest spot to deflect some of the wackness. He’s no, Q-Tip, but still.
so does this mean a low post player rap battle is on the way? say….c webb vs.. shazam, i mean shaq?

Position by position, baby! C-Webb always resisted playing the five, so he may have to square off against an as-yet unnamed four.

Can I vote for Sadat X, or 50 Cent? If I was producing one of these dudes, I’d hire ghost writers… and then ghost rappers.

“THUG” Poet? That right there was enough to get my vote as the wackest. Kobe a Thug? Ha…I guess his tatoos qualify him. Kobe is far from a Thug. What a Poser. Poet? Not on this track. Stick to B-Ball KB.
